“I was skeptical at first — 'Long Island Dads'? — but this app has become my go-to for planning weekends with my kids. The AI planner is scarily good.”
“Found my golf crew, my go-to brewery, and a great pediatrician recommendation — all in the first week. This is exactly what Long Island needed.”
“We use it every Friday for date night ideas. Type in 'no kids, good cocktails, something fun' and it just works. Never thought an app built by dads would be our date-night planner.”
“Six guys trying to organize a golf day and drinks after used to take 30 texts. Now it takes about 3 minutes in the app.”
“Moved here two years ago and didn't know anyone. This community helped me find a golf buddy, a pediatrician, and actually feel like I live here. 10/10.”
Because families are involved, we take safety seriously.
Long Island Dads started when a few dads got tired of asking the same questions in Facebook groups: “Anyone know a good plumber?” “What's there to do this weekend with the kids?” “Who's up for golf Saturday?”
We built something better. And somewhere along the way, moms started using it. Then couples. Then friend crews. Then anyone who just wanted to know what was actually happening on Long Island.
The name stuck — because it's honest. We're still built by dads — but we built it for all of you.
